NOA2

[claudi1176 2]

Hi everybody, I have a question regarding NOA2. I looked it up on the USCIS webpage and it said they mailed NOA2 on 3/28, however we have not received a text or email like we did with NOA1. Is that normal? Do you just received NOA2 in the mail and that's it??

THANK YOU:

My first email, NOA1, from USCIS came to my e-mail account...My NOA2, for some reason, went to my Junk mail. You might want to check there. I did not receive a SMS on either.

I did not receive a text or e-mail either for my NOA2, even though I had signed up for it. I know of other people who had the same thing happen to them. The USCIS online system is full of glitches, so I would not worry about it.

Don't worry. My fiancé had never received email as well as text for NOA-2. I found out about the approval through USCIS website since I was the one kept checking the status. We only got text and email for NOA-1 so that's normal and also happened to my fiancé and I.

Yay, we did receive the approval letter in the mail yesterday. So, now, are we gonna receive updates on NVC through email and text or did we have to sign up at somewhere else?? Or are there no updates? I am nonfused on what is gonna happen next?? If anybody knows, your answer would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

the only notification that we got was for NOA1 (via text and e-mail) I found out about NOA2 (I'm the beneficiary) because I had signed up for the USCIS mailing list and I got an e-mail. We did get it in the mail like you, which is very important since it's needed for AOS later on.

As for NVC, I don't think there are any notifications... About two weeks from NOA2 date I called them and I got my case number, which changes at this stage. Mine started with MDD because my embassy is in Madrid. If yours is in Berlin it might start with BER, BRR or something like that! This is their contact info:

(603) 334-0700

Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight (EST).

We recommend you call during off-peak hours to receive faster service.

OFF-PEAK Calling Times:

7am to 10am (EST)

8pm to midnight (EST)

A lot of people in this forum seem to have spoken to very rude people at NVC. I called them twice and got really nice people both times but maybe I was lucky! I was also able to talk to someone really fast (I called around 13 or 14, Spanish time) but a lot of people here say that they're on hold for a long, long time. I called them with Skype, which is only 1 cent a minute and was ready to wait forever but I got a representative almost right away both times. Don't feel bad or discouraged if they're rude or they yell at you to call in another 8 weeks. Call back at another time and keep asking about your case number!

After you have that number you can track your case at: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx Remember to choose the option "IMMIGRANT VISA". As far as i know, NVC doesn't have a mailing list like USCIS so you have to check the status yourself. In my case it said "AT NVC" first, then "IN TRANSIT" (meaning it was on its way to the embassy) and then "READY" (when the embassy had received it)

After this you should look at Germany's info because the process changes depending on the country.

Best of luck!

PS: when you call NVC you have to have the following information ready as they ask you for it before you even say hello!

-case number from USCIS (you'll find it in NOA1)

-petitioner's name and date of birth

-beneficiary's name and date of birth

On the second call they actually asked me to confirm my fiance's cell phone number and mine. I was not ready for this! He changed his number a while ago and I never learnt the new number by heart! Luckily, I had my cell nearby so I was able to check that...
